Requests

The post-processing window can be opened through the Post treatment feature icon in the tool bar:

The Requests tab is to define which curves you want to plot and display in the Graphics tab. The tab consists of several sub-tabs, as follows :

  • Static def. tab: this tab allows you to specify which static steps will be displayed in the Animation player. You may choose either to load the frames/steps from the whole quasi-static simulation, load the last quasi-step only or specify the first and last steps to be included in the frames. Pressing the Reload button will actually update the frames to be displayed in the Animation player with the new settings.

  • Dynamic def. tab: this tab allows you to specify which time steps/frames will be displayed in the Animation player. You may choose either to load the steps from the whole dynamic simulation, from the last wave period only (for regular waves), or specify only the first and last time steps to be included. Pressing the Reload button will update the steps to be displayed in the Animation player with the new settings.

Note

The GUI can load up to 20Mb of data for the Animation player. The size of each frame directly depends on the number of nodes in the model, as follows :

Size of one frame (Mb) = Number of nodes x 8 / 1e6

  • Static curves tab: this tab is used to specify which quasi-static plots you want to display in the Graphics window. See more details.

  • Dynamic curves tab: this tab is used to specify which dynamic plots you want to display in the Graphics window. See more details.

  • Spectral curves tab: this tab is used to specify which spectral plots you want to display in the Graphics tab. See more details.

  • RAO tab: this tab is used to specify which RAOs you want to build from your dynamic analyses. See more details.

  • Clash Check tab: this tab is used to define interference analyses post-processing requests. You may select different lines from the same dynamic analysis or select several lines from different analyses files, and then ask for the computation of minimum clearance between these lines. See more details.

  • Contact tab: this tab is used to define contact result outputs from quasi-static and dynamic analyses. Typical contact result parameters include contact energy, normal contact force, and friction forces. See more details.

  • Modal shapes (.MDS) files tab: this tab is to export modal shape files with the .MDS file extension. These text files will be created by the GUI and will contain the modal shape, modal slope and modal curvature for selected mode numbers. This tab only displays when a modal analysis was performed.
